Hi All!

 

New to the forums, and excited to have some fun with my Subeast!  I want to lift it to a "reasonable" level.  Thinking Outback struts, read something about honda springs, and bigger wheels.  I need a shopping list!  Any suggestions appreciated.  I will start posting pics soon as I have hired a guy to tear apart the motor and another guy working on interior lights, reupholsterd seats, and the addition of LED's everywhere.

 

Hello and welcome. No need for Honda springs. Check these links for guidance:

I do not know much about the Legacy wagon but this is my 97 Legacy L. All I have put on is 99 Outback Wagon strut/spring assemblies and a set of Forester 16" rims with 225/60 tires. I went from 6" of ground clearance to 9" at the front pinch weld. I read a lot but still got really confused on what to do/use. I am not real happy with the tires but for $40 for all four rims and tires I will "suffer" till I can afford better. I think with a 215/75 I might be able to get another .5" lift. I really would like to do a 1" spacer on the rear as it was a tight fit to put the Outback struts in. I also will be doing the rear trailing arm mounts since the rear tire is not centered in the wheel well.

 

Hard to see but it is at 9"

 

Won't lifting it degrade the handling?

Nice pics Rabbidrabbit!  Looks good.  I will start looking for rims too.  Thanks for the links Bushwick, I appreciate it!  Looking for some struts as I type!
